Overnight - Hootin’ and Howlin’

Come to the Minnesota Zoo and join a naturalist for a hootin’ and howlin’ good time learning about the animals and plants that call Minnesota home. During the evening you will meet a keeper as they explain the mysteries of the gray wolf and their current status in Minnesota. Through hands-on-activities you will discover the relationships Minnesota animals have within an ecosystem and how these animals have special adaptations to help with their survival. You will also take a look at the many trees that provide the animals their home.

The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday night and ends at 9 a.m. the following morning. Maximum group size is 30 (students and chaperones). Minimum group size is 10 people. We need a minimum of 15 for the overnight to take place.

When you book your overnight your group may be combined with other groups of a different gender or age. Please let us know if you need special sleeping arrangements and we will do our best to accommodate your group. If you would like the overnight to be exclusive for just your group - you must register a minimum of 25 people.

Fees: $47/person (1 chaperone per 4 students maximum). Includes program, evening snack, breakfast, a Minnesota Zoo patch (for Scout groups) and program t-shirt. After the conclusion of the program, participants are welcome to enjoy the rest of the day at the Minnesota Zoo.
